I disagree. I have a number of server packages installed on my personal laptop for the sake of having the docs with me. I am, however, fine with using update-rc.d or $EDITOR /etc/runlevel.conf[1] to accomplish this. My beef is that I want to be able to prevent a newly installed package's postinst from starting the service (for example, because I know that the service needs configuration before it can be started for the first time, or because I know that this service is probably never going to run on this installation).
